1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a powerful tool for investigating gustatory perception, offering high temporal resolution and non-invasive brain activity recording. This review highlights the ability of EEG to reveal the complex interactions between sensory input, emotional responses, and cognitive evaluation in the process of taste perception. This review examines the physiological basis of taste, focusing on key brain regions and how environmental and psychological factors influence taste perception. It also discusses the methods and applications of EEG technology, including its principles, signal features, and measurement methods. Notably, EEG markers like event-related potentials (ERPs), frequency band power analysis, and brain network connectivity are essential for understanding the neural dynamics of taste processing. This review concludes with potential future research directions, including the integration of EEG with other neuroimaging techniques, cross-cultural studies on gustatory perception, and the use of EEG biomarkers in early neurological disease diagnosis.
